Great video ,interesting views but nothing new .

''Save the money and get a 718 Cayman GTS , but its not a GT4 , Save the money and get a Competition , but its not a CS ! ''

''Would i consider the CS over the 718 GT4 ? I think YES ! ''

As for those who are still asking if its worth the extra money

ptgltw · 02-17-2021, 06:56 AM

Yes and a M2C for that one two punch combo.

The M2CS is overrated and overpriced.

I saw on Twitter that Evo magazine is considering rescinding their COTY award

InsanityLatr · 02-17-2021, 07:51 AM

LOL love the video...i actually laughed out loud at 9:55... "Plegh, Lovely!"

Two totally different cars, yet equally good in their own domain. Can't go wrong with either. I need rear seats once or twice a month, and it's a DD, so easy choice for me.

Dear Alan, Try reading and understand the reason WHY you lost instead of being focused on how great you are.

If you don't know you don't know is all I can tell you Alan.

EVO said a Life110 spec Alpine was better than the GTS this month in a comparo. They are going to have to change addresses, or drown in hate mail for months.

Porsche should just send GTS 4.0 buyers a carbon fiber bucket to hold all their tears and hurt feelings.

Like they said, as good as the Cayman is, it's just too good.

Let me translate that for you Alan, BORING.

I had a 981 Cayman S. It was ridiculously capable handling wise. Long gearing.

A bit boring for sure but capable. I don’t think it is a fair comparison. The M2 is a far more usable car. So far just a fun car.

Yeah i don't want to sound like a Porsche hater, cause i'm far from it, and would enjoy it if I bought a GTS 4.0. I just think the need from either owners or Porsche fans to have the GTS 4.0 be crowned in some way to validate the car means it is as boring as reviewers say it is, and everyone knows it.

Alpine* · 02-17-2021, 09:43 PM

I would have a new GT4 if they were only a few $k more than a CS, but, they are circa 70% more money in Aus. I’m still happy and enjoying the CS.

Edit* a Spyder would be my preference.

medphysdave · 02-17-2021, 09:59 PM

I'd go for a boxter. I'm loving the sound of the CS as you get up and over 6500rpm. Really seems to uncork the sound. The combination of sound and feel of engine in the upper is really great. Another nod to bmw for capturing a very NA like experience. It likes to play in the higher rev range. High compression engine with turbos is much better than going low comp for more torque. It's just trickier to keep it safe.
